Abita rolls out cans at pub crawl

The journey begins at 6 p.m. with cans of Abita Amber at the Uptown Bulldog (3236 Magazine St.). At 8 p.m., head over to the Balcony Bar (3201 Magazine St.) for cans of Jockamo IPA. The last stop is the Rendezvous (3101 Magazine St.) for cans of Purple Haze.

All participants must complete a free registration either online at shop.abita.com/events or at the Bulldog on the day of the event.

Abita also announced that in early February it will release on draft the Saint Gleason Imperial Red Ale. For each pint sold, Abita will donate 25 cents to Steve Gleason's family trust, which helps the former Saints player participate in experimental treatments for his debilitating ALS. The Saint Gleason ale will be available at bars and restaurant that serve Abita Select beers.
